The electricity costs incurred by my Department since 2017 were provided to the Deputy in response to Parliamentary Question number 35 (ref: 59708/21) on 2 December, 2021. I wish to advise the Deputy that the bill of charges for this utility are not itemised by specific services provided, so it is not possible to accurately identify what percentage or value of these costs are applicable to ICT hardware costs specifically.

I would refer the Deputy to the reply given to the House in response to Parliamentary Question No 38 of 2nd December last. For the Deputy's convenience the information sought in respect of electricity costs incurred by my Department is set out in the table below. Separate figures are not available for energy costs incurred on ICT hardware.

The Deputy will wish to note that figures for the period 2017-2019 also include costs incurred in respect of Heritage functions, responsibility for which transferred to the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage as part of the reconfiguration of Departments in 2020.
